I've tried puppeee already and I couldn't make my wifi work.
So I guess I need to install the Broadcom STA driver.
Would be nice if in the future puppeee would add this driver automatically.
Do you think I can install this driver in puppeee using this pet file (just as I did in puppy 5.2.5)?

It's easy to try a .pet just by clicking on it.
If it doesn't work, click on it in the ppm (package manager) to
remove it.

Puppeee has threads in the forum and it's own web site.
Maybe the 4.4 beta version has the right drivers for you.

My question is: can I use this PET package in Puppeee 4.3?
I'd say I can't, right? Probably because kernel version is not the same.

No, probably not.

The driver would need to be rebuilt using Puppeee's kernel source.
I don't have an eeepc, but I'll see if I can get puppeee to boot in a VM and build you a pet package. edit: sorry, couldn't get it to boot

No, probably not.
The driver would need to be rebuilt using Puppeee's kernel source.

That's what I thought.

Quote:

Btw, Fluppy has the broadcom driver preinstalled

But Fluppy has no Eee support.
BTW, what exactly is the difference between Puppy and Puppeee?
I'm willing to use any Puppy that has Eee support AND the Broadcom STA driver. What should I do?
TIA

i download puppy linux "racy" and installed it to a flash drive
then installed truecrypt
then vlc
then was going to install broadcom wi-fi drivers but it said there is none in the software list.

so I found this forum, download the .pet file, ran it. the installer said it installed to the system menu, but there is nothing new in the system menu and the wi-fi light is off, and no data goes through.

i don't know how to black list or anything, and modprobe was telling me

rmmod ssb
ERROR: module ssb does not exist in /proc/modules

modprobe -r wl

FATAL: module wl not found.

modprobe wl

FATAL module wl not found

it's been 8 hours and I cant get it to work, it's 4:30 am so i am going to sleep. goodnight

Has anyone figured hoe to make the broadcom work with Racy Puppy?
I have a Dell Studio with a broadcom card. The card shows up in the network configuration screen, but it cannot establish a connection.

I can tell I am not the only one that is having problems with this card.

The success rate on broadcom drivers (at least out of the box) and Puppy seems to vary between releases. For example, on my Dell laptop with a bmc4311, Lupu 5.2.8 will not work, but 5.2.5 works OOTB. I'd suggest trying a few different puppies in the "official" chain, back to about Lupu 525 and see what sort of luck you have. Might also try Slacko 5.3.1, that also works with this wifi setup.
